Supreme Court to Uphold or Ignore the Constitution?
Capitol Hill ^ | Dec. 7, 2008 | JB Williams

Posted on 12/07/2008 11:14:58 AM PST by PlainOleAmerican

As of this writing, December 6th, the Supreme Court has not yet announced whether or not it will take up the Donofrio case, or any other case concerning Obama’s constitutional eligibility for the office of President.

Yet there is no more important issue before the court today and the clock is ticking.

(snip)

The Supreme Court of the United States of America has but one primary obligation to the American people, and that obligation is to use the power afforded it under Article III—Section I of the Constitution, to uphold, protect and preserve the U.S. Constitution, the Charters of Freedom, and provide equal justice for all, without regard to personal political leanings or ambitions…

What better way to not alert someone to an investigation....Pooh Pah the entire idea as ridiculous.

If Rush, Sean, and the rest are willing go on record as saying such, knowing full well what a serious and critical issue this is, all in an effort to mis-direct attention, then it would be a valiant sacrifice on their part, as it will destroy their reputation among many of their listeners.

I just am not convinced that they are actually capable of that sort of heroism. I hope that I'm wrong.

That is not true and you know it.

Apparently, you're one of the very few here who doesn't know that Obama's COLB which was posted on the internet is a total forgery. I'm also not the first person here to alert you to this.

Really, you need to do a search on FR for Ron Polarik's in depth and scientific analysis of these images before you go any further. These images have been thoroughly debunked.

Anyway, the case at the Supreme Court which in my opinion they will ignore is about Obama’s mother status.

Friend, you're obviously VERY uninformed about these cases at the SC. The Donofrio case is most certainly NOT about "Obama's mother's status".

Put down the doobie and do some reading for Pete's sake.

I guess the Republican governor of Hawaii is involve in this cover up as well (sarcasm).

I guess so since the governor of Hawaii, Linda Lingle, is a Democrat. That's quite a coverup.

How many other facts have you not checked?

I would want the Court to take this up if I had seen any substantial evidence that BHO is not a natural born U.S. citizen. So far I haven’t.

“First off would be the fact that every issue, nominee and position given out by Obama would have to be nullified, this cannot happen, a rotten potato has been placed under a massive pile of other potatoes and looking for and finding the rotten one will only damage the rest.”

This is still VASTLY better than having the legitimacy of every piece of legislation signed by him as President called into question.

Really? Wrong again....

Some things are worth fighting for, even dying for, and if our constitution and free republic is not one of those things, what is?

You have made it very clear that you are not well informed on this matter and not willing to fight for freedom or the rule of constitutional law even when under extreme attack.

That’s your choice. But history has written that “real Americans” are always ready to defend freedom at any cost.

“God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion.
The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is
wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts
they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions,
it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ...
And what country can preserve its liberties, if it’s rulers are not
warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of
resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as
to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost
in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from
time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
It is its natural manure.”

You have defended a fraud and refused to fight for truth throughout this thread. No real American would do such a thing...

You are simply saying that the constitution is meaningless. You might be right, the court may so decide. But if you are right, then it is completely meaningless.

If Article II - Section - I is meaningless, the entire document is meaningless. You are saying that it doesn’t matter “how” he won.

I’m saying, if 66 million Americans can ignore Article II, then 56 million Americans can ignore Amendment XVI...

Wrong... American manufacturing was put out of business by government intrusion and federal loyalty to corrupt labor unions that forced manufacturers to become incapable of competing in a global market.

Remove the unions and watch these industries thrive again.

Wrong again.... You are getting good at being wrong.

Government forced banks to use “affirmative action” underwriting and make bad loans to bad borrowers. Those loans were going to go bad from the moment they were made.

Because they were high risk loans from the start, they were given high interest rates to cover the loans that went bad. But they made too many bad loans and then government allowed mortgage based securities to be sold, on the basis of those bad loans.

Take congressional democrats and affirmative action out of the picture, and there would be no crisis today.

You refuse to get it Bronx.... fight now or forget 2010.

You are helping to seat a president who clearly has no respect for the constitution or any other American value. Once in full power, 12 million illegals will get amnesty with full voting rights, be bused to their local union office and given a job on Obama’s infrastructure spending spree and signed up as new members of the DNC, who they owe for their amnesty and their jobs.

Two or three judges will be replaced on the high court and all of them will be like Ginsberg.

NO republican will win a national election for the next generation after that...

WAKE UP! Defend the constitution now or kiss it goodbye for at least a generation.

Kelo. McCain-Feingold. Etc...

Yeah... they'll flush the Constitution again. With Heller, they did their "once per annum" thing.

Yeah, the greed was on the part of those running the gov’t backed loans at Fannie & Freddie (read: DEMOCRATS).

They were telling all the brokers that they’d buy ANY loan they made to minorities, no matter how unqualified they were.

See, the DEMOCRATS that were running F & F restructured the pay scale so that they got bonuses based on the portfolio size - how many loans were on the books.

You can’t overturn an election because you don’t like the results. We have to fight for our country, but this is not the way. It won’t work. As I write this, I have just heard that the Donofrio case has been turned down by SCOTUS. You only need four justices to agree to hear a case. We have four solid conservatives on this court. Yet, it was turned down. It is time to move on and fight in ways that have a chance of success.

Please, no doubt there is plenty of blame to go around. However, the financial sector must accept the lion’s share of the blame...they did it. They can not be trusted and new regulation-not bs stuff-but real reforms are needed. By the way Merril CEO wants an 10 million dollar bonus...while workers are being let go. This stupid crap needs to stop. One of the most important reforms would be to give stockholders the rights they once enjoyed over how much these CEO’s are paid and the direction of the company.
